Metric geometry

Intrinsic metric

In the mathematical study of metric spaces, one can consider the arclength of paths in the space. If two points are at a given distance from each other, it is natural to expect that one should be able to get from the first point to the second along a path whose arclength is equal to (or very close to) that distance. The distance between two points of a metric space relative to the intrinsic metric is defined as the infimum of the lengths of all paths from the first point to the second. A metric space is a length metric space if the intrinsic metric agrees with the original metric of the space. If the space has the stronger property that there always exists a path that achieves the infimum of length (a geodesic) then it may be called a geodesic metric space or geodesic space. For instance, the Euclidean plane is a geodesic space, with line segments as its geodesics. The Euclidean plane with the origin removed is not geodesic, but is still a length metric space.

Using parent graphs to understand the left and right hand limits

👉 Learn how to evaluate the limit of an absolute value function. The limit of a function as the input variable of the function tends to a number/value is the number/value which the function approaches at that time. The absolute value function is a function which only takes the positive val

Absolute versus relative measurements in geometry | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 134

In science and ordinary life, the distinction between absolute and relative measurements is very useful. It turns out that in mathematics this is also an important distinction. We must be prepared that some aspects of mathematics are more naturally measured relatively, rather than absolute
